Study of the Impact of Abuse on Children, Adult Survivors and Practioners, and the Implications for Service Delivery and Therapeutic Interventions
This thesis presented for a Ph. D. by publication traces the progress of my work from 1988-2004. The portfolio and narrative herein developed demonstrates that the publications and their dissemination constitute a contribution to knowledge equivalent to that of a traditional doctorate. This portfolio aims to demonstrate how my original contribution to knowledge has been a cumulative process developed from my on-going integration of practice and academic work and that this has substantially impacted on the understanding of childhood abuse on children and on the adult survivors they become, on practitioners working in the field, and on the implications for service delivery and therapeutic inte...
Morag-- Myself, Or Mother Hen?
'I don't like cleaning and hoovering and washing up. I do them because I have to, and I feel that James wants me to be in the house, to be there because his children are there, and the family's there... he likes me there being the mother-hen.' This is how Morag begins to tell her story to her potential therapist. Six therapists are given the opportunity of assessing Morag: What do they wish to know about her? how do they understand her? how might they work with her? and what outcome can they predict for her as a result of therapy? In this highly original book - which starts with Morag's own story - the reader has a chance to see six different therapists at work, drawing on the same material from the one real client. The similarities and differences between therapies are highlighted. And at the end the reader is able to enter Morag's experience of the process, and decide with her, which one she might choose in her search for a therapist. This fascinating volume will appeal to a wide range of students and practitioners involved in counselling and psychotherapy, particularly those interested in comparing different therapeutic approaches.
Counselling Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse:From Hurting To Healing
Childhood abuse in all its forms is a major social and psychological problem in the UK and globally. Without effective help, survivors struggle with enduring anguish and self-harming behaviours that affect all aspects of their lives and relationships. In their new book, Zoë Pool and Michael Jacobs seek to increase our understanding of the therapeutic needs of adult survivors of childhood abuse. They describe the therapeutic services offered by a dedicated counselling agency, founded by the late Moira Walker. Here, relationships between therapist and client, and client and all parts of themselves, are prioritized. Throughout this text, survivor and practitioner perspectives are integrated wi...
Fifty Years of Counselling – My Presenting Past
Michael Jacobs is a pioneer in the development of psychodynamic counselling. While his writing is praised for its lucidity in explaining difficult concepts, and as well illustrated with case examples from his own work, he has rarely said much about his own history as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. In this personal account, concerned mainly with both his professional life as a therapist, writer and teacher and with the developments of counselling generally in Britain, in which he has played a major part, Jacobs presents his own past. It is one that surprisingly for so experienced a therapist, started with no formal training, but which has gone on to be an influence on the training of hundreds of counsellors and therapists. Jacobs traces the development of BACP and UKCP and his part in the formation of both organizations, the development of training in counselling in Britain, much of which with regard to psychodynamic counselling was pioneered by him, and finally his writing and teaching career. The book concludes with a critique of the present state of counselling and psychotherapy in Britain today.
Surviving Secrets
In recent years considerable attention has been paid to the subject of abuse in childhood. Less attention has been paid to what happens to the vast number of women and men who have reached adulthood with this experience haunting them. Moira Walker overviews the experience and its implications, dealing with physical, sexual and psychological abuse. An essential part of the content is based on interviews with survivors of child abuse, voicing their views on the effects of the experience and the effectiveness of the help offered. At the same time Surviving Secrets seeks to understand the context in which abuse takes place, the society which itself contains and sustains abuse at various levels. It is a moving account of the experience and effects of childhood abuse and a handbook for those in the caring professions, in voluntary organizations and elsewhere who are helping survivors of abuse.
Tamaitai Samoa
This is the story of Samoan women written in their own words. Sometimes sad, often exhilarating and always interesting, this is a fascinating insight into an ancient culture viewed from the perspective of women. In an often male dominated society the book tells us much that we may have already suspected. ... that even in overtly male societies women are powerful.
Supervision
Supervision is a prerequisite for all counsellors, and for most psychotherapists, yet until recently it has been assumed that any experienced counsellor or therapist could become a supervisor without any special expertise. But the experience of those in supervision is sometimes of inadequate or even unhelpful work by their supervisors. At the same time supervision is receiving considerable attention as a discipline in its own right, with an expanding literature on the dynamics of the supervisory couple (or the supervisory triad, since the client is a central if absent presence); more attention is also being paid to the technical skills required of the supervisor. This book addresses those issues both from the perspective of the supervisee and the supervisor, suggesting what supervisees might expect from good supervision, as well as offering guidance to supervisors on how best to use to the full the opportunities offered by a therapeutic situation which has some similarities, but also some radical differences from counselling and therapy itself.
Abuse
This book explores key areas of working with adult survivors of childhood abuse that in the author?s experience as a practitioner, trainer, and supervisor are frequent concerns of those working in this field. Areas covered include an exploration of theoretical approaches and their relevance, definitions of abuse, ethical issues and questions, the impact of abuse on the child and on the adult survivor, the effects of working in this field on the worker and how to respond to these. Some of the specific areas covered relate to self harm, the recovery of memories, dissociative responses, the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship and many more. Throughout the book it is recognised that the que...
